Got Hope?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

The saints are people of peace.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

All hope proceeds from your hope in creating the cosmos.
Within that overwhelming hope lies the hope for life.
Within that fruitful hope lies the hope for humanity.
Within that impressive hope, there is hope for me.
Hopes fulfilled because of your abiding care.
Thank you.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“I hope you people are satisfied now.”

[Another not-spoken word from the cross.]
